The SuperhostRelief Fund

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has devastated the travel industry, and we know hosts like you are hurting. Because communities support each other in times like these, Airbnb's employees have donated $1 million from their own pockets to kick-start a fund for hosts struggling to make ends meet. Airbnb's founders are also personally contributing $9 million—in addition to another $7 million from investors—for a total of $17 million USD. We're here to help you weather the storm, and we'll get through it together.

We want to support as many hosts as we can, but we also want that support to be meaningful. Airbnb will be prioritizing invitations for hosts based on a number of reasons, including how long they've been a Superhost and how badly their earnings have been impacted, at its sole discretion. We expect to extend all invitations by the end of May 2020.
